  1. Tom Young ★★★★★

    I had a fantastic haircut and beard trim from Maty. The cut is great, my partner told me my face smelled good for the last three days, and both the music and the chat were spot on. It's a very good value, worth every penny. I will come back again when I am in the area.

    Been going to Sink and Anchor and Ruari for many years now since the Grassmaket location. Always got a great Vibe and everyone is really friendly. I would highly recommend Ruari to anyone as he has a great wealth of knowledge and has had great advice for all hairstyles I’ve had. The cuts are great highly recommend you get down to sink and anchor!

    I’ve been getting my hair cut by Ruari for about five years now, and he’s a top notch barber. Always gives a clean, fresh trim and is patient and actually listens to what you want — every time. He’s proper sound too, and the vibe in the chair is always chill. You can tell he cares about what he does and takes pride in getting it right. If you want a barber who knows his stuff and won’t let you down, Ruari’s your guy!

    I’ve been coming to Sink and Anchor for years now. Friendly shop with a real cool vibe. Ruari has never done me wrong, always providing high quality cuts and consultation. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new barber in the Edinburgh area.

    I had a beard trim from Matthew F, my very first one. I can recommend Matthew for those, like me, who have a beard that curls all different ways & are tentative about letting someone trim it. Great service and atmosphere.

    Sink and Anchor are genuinely one of the best barber shops in Edinburgh, I absolutely love coming to this place. Have had cuts by both very experienced barbers Luke & Jo, who have both made me walk out the door wanting to come straight back. Vibe and atmosphere of the new shop is great with more space to enjoy your typical cut experience alongside drinking a nice cold beer too! Can’t wait to come back!!

    I’ve been heading to sink and anchor for my haircuts for years and frankly o couldn’t go anywhere else now. Not only is the vibe always great. Super friendly, welcoming and inclusive the haircuts are always 10/10. Luke always makes you feel like he is paying extra care and attention to give you exactly what you want!

    Hands down best barber shop in Edinburgh. Luke and the team always know what to do with my hair , I know my receding hairline and over grown moustache are always in safe hands. (Thanks Rachel for always reminding me about my moustache) I am always made to feel extremely welcome at sink and anchor from moment I am greeting by Rachel and the dogs, for someone that's socially anxious it's nice to feel you have a safe space. The shop itself has a vibe and aesthetic that's unmatched and if you're lucky you might even get some puppy love. You can tell the team love what they do and I look forward to every visit

    went in for a trim the other day and booked online with ryan. I asked for a mid fade and about a cm cut from my fringe. The fade wasn’t evenly cut, with one side being higher than the other. He took about 3-4cm off my fringe and left a chunk of it uncut and left at its normal length. A great and friendly atmosphere but at the end of the day for £20 ( students piece) a barber should do a lot better than this, overall not impressed.

  1. Christine & Vince Gill-Cuffaro ★★★★★

    Thanks for much for the great haircut and hospitality! We came over from the USA to get married and had these guys cut my hair for me! Fantastic!! I'd say "I'll be back...." but it may be a few years! Keep up the great work and see you soon!!
